In my town, people like to give smile cards to those who
have received help. And the receivers continue to help others. With those
cards, people enjoy helping and being helped.

I got some smile cards and used three of them just
yesterday!

I used the first smile card when I was getting my dogs
some food in a pet store. A man walked up to look at collars (项圈), looking puzzled. He asked me if I knew anything about
dogs and collars, which actually I was quite familiar with. I helped him choose
one. I hope it would work for his dog. When he said thanks, I handed him a
smile card. He smiled and said he would help someone as soon as possible.

That was amazing! Then in a supermarket, when I was
paying the bill, a grandma was trying to get her granddaughter out of a basket.
I offered to help her, and she said “Yes, please.” Later she told me that she
had just had an operation and couldn’t lift things very well. After getting the
baby girl out, I handed her my second smile card.

Then I paid for someone’s food in a small restaurant and
left behind the third smile card.

I felt very happy yesterday. It was great to help others
and leave behind smile cards. I believe that more and more people will get
happiness from receiving and giving smile cards.

People love Shakespeare’s vocabulary and creativity. He
used more than 15,000 words in this writing! But Bible’s Old Testament (旧约圣经) only contains 5,642 words, Shakespeare also invented
many new terms and phrase.

If someone’s behavior suggested they were not honest and
should not be trusted. Shakespeare called them suspicious. If someone was
silly and perhaps looked like a fool, Shakespeare found their actions
laughable. And for those who offered their opinions on something’s quality,
Shakespeare called them critics (评论家).Today, for instance, food critics and film critics give their opinions
on food and film.

The familiar phrase “break the ice” comes from
Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. The “ice is broken”
when people in a group, who have never met before, begin to talk to each other
by doing some activities. More common words were first used by Shakespeare
including “road”, “gossip”, “lonely”, “bump” and “hurry”.

Four hundred years after his death. Shakespeare surely
lives on, in everyday speech, as he most famous writer of all time.
